General Description

Mimix Broadband’s 35.0-42.0 GHz GaAs transmitter is an integrated multifunction chip which provides 25 dB of linear gain control across the band. The MMIC has a +17.0 dBm output third order intercept across the band.This device is a balanced, resistive pHEMT mixer followed by a series of cascaded gain and attenuator stages. The device also includes an integrated LO doubler and LO buffer amplifier which make the provision of the LO easier than for fundamental mixers at these frequencies.
